Too late. LOL

In general you should expect installing the standard handler to require
changes to the code that manages a window, for more reasons that just visual
issues.

That's nice, but what I was saying is that there can be subtle issues that
need to be addressed when you add a toolbar to window, and not all of them
can be addressed in event handlers, even if you can figure out all the
handlers you install and what to do in them. There aren't a lot of these
issues, and you might not encounter any of them depending on how the main
application works, but then again you might. ;-)

I use the standard handler on all my windows these days, so I can't help you
with any of this. I think Eric Schlegel will be the final authority on this
one. ;-)
